Jesus had to wait 8 days for Circumcision (by a good Jewish doctor?) and Mary had to wait another 33 days for Purification (by a good Jewish Priest).

Leviticus 12

1. Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

2. "Speak to the children of Israel, saying: `If a woman has conceived, and borne a male child, then she shall be unclean seven days; as in the days of her customary impurity she shall be unclean.

3. `And on the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised.

4. `She shall then continue in the blood of her purification thirty-three days. She shall not touch any hallowed thing, nor come into the sanctuary until the days of her purification are fulfilled.

5. `But if she bears a female child, then she shall be unclean two weeks, as in her customary impurity, and she shall continue in the blood of her purification sixty-six days.

I suppose Joseph was taking care of business, like registering or building something.

Then on the 40th Day:

Leviticus 12

6. `When the days of her purification are fulfilled, whether for a son or a daughter, she shall bring to the priest a lamb of the first year as a burnt offering, and a young pigeon or a turtledove as a sin offering, to the door of the tabernacle of meeting.

7. `Then he shall offer it before the Lord, and make atonement for her. And she shall be clean from the flow of her blood. This is the law for her who has borne a male or a female.

8. `And if she is not able to bring a lamb, then she may bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons one as a burnt offering and the other as a sin offering. So the priest shall make atonement for her, and she will be clean.' '

'

The Levitical Law is good for us. Like:

Leviticus 11

29. `These also shall be unclean to you among the creeping things that creep on the earth: the mole, the mouse, and the large lizard after its kind;

30. `the gecko, the monitor lizard, the sand reptile, the sand lizard, and the chameleon.

31. `These are unclean to you among all that creep. Whoever touches them when they are dead shall be unclean until evening.

The thing pandemics are made of?
